Six questions for Bobby, AU Shipping Manager 

1. Highlights from your job:

My title is shipping manager, but I wear a lot of hats. I check factory production, what’s being made, count dresses in, get production sheets, etc… I have a lot to do with production. I hear that tape gun going and that’s the sound of money to me.

2. Talking of hats… You modeled in your past life. Tell us more and about how that translates into your job.

[Modeling] fell into my lap. I was walking on the street in East Village and this girl, a casting scout, asked, “Can I take your picture?” I did a few shoots for her and then soon after I got a modeling contract.

It carries over into my personality and confidence. I was exposed to several designers which made me hip on fashion.

3. And music?

I’m a multitalented musician. I play almost every instrument. Music is mathematical. I’m real organized because music is real organized. I remember PO numbers the same way I remember riffs.

4. Desert island music?

Rock, man! Rock in general. If I had only one album with me it would have to be the Melvins (Stonerwitch). They influenced me more than any one else.

5. What is your favorite fashion accessory?

I don’t wear accessories. I like my backpack and my sneakers and tattoos. My tattoos are my favorite accessory.

6. AU must-have for the ladies?

The Everyday shirt. I think the shirt is rad.
